How Many Different Hall-of-Famers are in Your Collection?

I like the collection, Scott, a good number of rookie cards mixed in there.

Whoa! Talking bout some card hoarders of some great cards!
I look back at mine, and its only a slice of the pie.

Love looking through these HOF sets guys! Nice collections!

I have over 460 cards of HOFers. Some are multiple cards of the same player. I have rookie cards of every HOFer player from 1948 to present. Because I have a finite budget for baseball cards (thanks to my wife), the pre-war HOFers that I have are not necessarily rookies, but rather cards I could afford. Still working on that part of my collection.

I have 209 different hall of famers that meet your criteria.

Here are my HOF collection checklist criteria:

Prewar: HOFers elected as players; 20th century cards produced during their active playing days including minor leaguers; at least one card per hofer.

Still need: Delehanty, Duffy, Burkett
Prewar I have 221 different cards of hofers elected as players plus 10 hofers elected as other than players. I'm not including any t206's or 33 goudeys - unless I have doubles- since I consider those cards part of their sets and not part of my HOF type collection.

Post war thru 1979: HOFers elected as players; All Regular issue Topps and Bowman cards.

Still need: 49B Paige, Robinson, Snider, Doby, Lemon; 51t Doerr, 51b Mantle, 52t Campy, Wilhelm, Mathews
Post war thru 79 I have 1070 different cards of hofers elected as players plus 16 hofers elected as other than players.

Posts like this make me realize how quaint my collection really is. Very impressed with what I'm hearing here. As for me, I'm probably around 90...though I am mostly a post war guy, so that's about right.

I am negotiating with children's TV Star "The Count" from SezMe street to give you an accurate number.

Funny thing about that guy is that to retain his services, you have to tell him how many cards you need counted

I think I lost track @500 pre-1980 HOFers, only counting the guys in the Topps Era once as I generally pick one I like for my HOF collection.

My prewar collection is about 2/3 slabbed and the other third might get done this year...maybe. See my link below!
